The advertisement aimed at Trump will run on cable news channels such as Fox News and MSNBC, during the "Fox & Friends" and "Morning Joe" time slots, respectively, two morning shows the president has been known to frequently watch in the past.

The ad will run on other news websites and on rural agriculture programs across the country.

“When the U.S. engages in a tit-for-tat fight with our trading partners, farmers pay the price," he said.

"While we need tough trade enforcement, we need to be smart about avoiding global trade fights that hurt American agriculture.”

The ad from the free-trade coalition is the second time in recent weeks that critics have opted to lobby the Trump administration through "Fox & Friends," long thought to be the president's favorite morning show and one he frequently quotes on Twitter.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Trump called a host of the news program for an opinion during a discussion on veterans' care, while a Navy sailor pardoned this week by the president appeared on the program just last week.
